Great place for kids to learn self discipline! My grandson loves it!

Adding a new review after over 2 years of attending Keene’s ATA’s traditional training and Warrior X-Fit classes. During this time, our now 10 year old daughter has progressed from a white belt to a level 2 green belt. She has become much more considerate of others and so much more personally accountable. She understands the value of practice and hard work, and loves the community and all of the instructors.As an adult attending the training, I couldn’t recommend this studio more. I have never been one who was athletic in any way or form, but have gained so much more confidence and reduced my stress levels by training here. My flexibility and physical health has also greatly improved by training here. Its really helped me reduce chronic back pain and truly keeps me sane. The sense of community and camaraderie here is incredible. Everyone here truly wants the best for the person next to them. Do yourself a favor and check out their classes. 💜

I entered Keene's ATA as a Camouflage belt from another martial Arts School In February 2024. Since then I have learned more in the last 5 months than I did in the last 2 years at my previous school. The classes are well structured and the instructors are patient. I would highly recommend you to try it out.

My son became obsessed with ninjas and asked if he could learn how to defend himself. No behavior problems, just a normal energetic 5 year old boy. We knew karate was much more than that and would be very good for him. I researched many different places before deciding to go with Keene’s ATA Martial Arts. We enrolled him in January and he completed 6 weeks in the beginner class focusing on learning impulse control, left and right, and the stances. Then he completed 6 weeks with the white, yellow, and orange belts where he wasn’t quite ready to test. It was a large learning curve for him full of peaks and valleys, but we stuck with it. Master Keene and Jaucian were a great balance of constructive criticism, encouragement, and positive reinforcement. My son learned grit this 3rd cycle by preserving and practicing really hard to earn all of his stripes to test. He EARNED his first new belt and headband after 5 months and I can’t tell you how proud we are of him. The look on his face of pride, accomplishment and happiness brought this mama to tears. 5 months may seem like a long time for a 5 year old but it is worth it. He has learned so many valuable life skills other than forms and self defense such as: Grit, self confidence, listening skills, impulse control, balance, coordination and how to move his body and know where it is in space. I would highly recommend Keene’s ATA if you are in it for the long haul because it takes kids some time to figure it out. There are no participation trophies. You as a parent have to be dedicated to helping your child practice. Taking videos during class of the forms and different things they are learning is helpful as Taekwondo is very detail orientated and watching them while practicing is helpful. We airplay them to our TV and practice as a family :) I cannot highly recommend Kenne’s ATA enough. I’m excited to watch my own son grow as he earns different belts and progresses through the tigers program.

My son was dealing with ADHD inattentive and some self control issues. We tried medication and had bad side effects. We then put our son in Keene’s ATA and it has been amazing for our family. His focus and self control has improved significantly. He is also more confident and empathetic to others. I can’t recommend this studio enough!
